How can a tutor assist you in conquering Algebra?

Mathematics is a challenging class for some students. For some, understanding how numbers are meant to interact comes naturally. However, for others, the entire concept can be confusing, especially when the student progresses to algebra, and integers are introduced. These concepts are important to your student's future academic success, and they are tested on the PSSA. Algebra can bring new frustration for students who've always struggled with math, but with the help of a tutor, the course may be easier to navigate. Varsity Tutors' educational directors can assist you in your search for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, algebra tutoring that can make the course less stressful for your student.

If math has given your student issues throughout their schooling, then it is likely that they have a few weak spots. A private tutor can meet with your student and conduct assessments to determine where these weaknesses are and why they are occurring. Once your student's tutor has completed their assessment, they can create a curriculum that centers around the hardest areas for the student. Because Philadelphia algebra tutoring doesn't have a set curriculum, your student can take the time they need to learn the concepts. If one topic in particular causes issues for your student, then extra time can be spent reviewing it in multiple ways until your child is ready to move one.

While algebra can be confusing for students, there are ways to make the learning process easier. Every student learns in a different way or may have specific teaching techniques that work best for them. Your student's tutor can work with them to find a teaching method that is effective for each type of problem they encounter. Perhaps your child needs a visual or a more in-depth explanation of how each step in an equation occurs. A Philadelphia algebra tutor can teach your student using the method that helps them to understand and retain the information best. With this type of specialized instruction, your student can work towards their algebra goals.

It's important for your child to be able to see their tutor when they need help. At Varsity Tutors, our educational directors can help you discover a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, algebra tutor who can hold sessions with your student when and where you want them to meet. Your student's tutor can meet with your child in person or face-to-face online using the Varsity Tutors live learning platform. Contact us soon to get started searching for a great tutor to help your child with their course.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★★★★★

"The student and I went over rational equations and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them. We also went over how to perform long division of polynomials as well as related rate problems. We spent a good deal going over these problems but more practice would be great so he can complete the problems we did not do on his worksheet. He is understanding these problems very well as is but just needs more practice and it takes time to recall all the techniques used to perform each problem. We accomplished quite a lot during this session so it went very well."

★★★★★

"The student and I worked on factoring polynomials for about an hour, since he is going to retake the quiz tomorrow. We spent another focused 20 minutes or so working some additional examples. While he completed his biology, I made a quick review for him to go over the next day. Our next session will be Sunday evening, May 12th."

★★★★

"The session went very well. I am figuring out how to access what the student knows and how to help her learn more easily. We went through half of her review for her math exam including pos/neg integers, absolute numbers, using coefficients in problem solving and order of operations. "

★★★★★

"Today the student and I covered algebra review. We went over factoring, simplification of polynomial fractions, algebraic manipulation of equations, and representing geometric relationships as polynomials. Overall he did a great job and made tremendous progress throughout the session. It seemed that he very clearly understood what needed to be done to solve the problem when I would ask him step by step, but when left alone to do the work, he would get confused. I recommended a little more practice with his factoring and gave him a few problems to try on his own for the next session. I also emphasized various ways to check his work after selecting an answer, ultimately to provide him with more tools to get the questions correct on test day. "

★★★★★

"More review of linear equations in Algebra 1 to prepare for unit exam. Particularly, finding the equation of a line based on two points, finding parallel and perpendicular lines, and some work with improper/mixed fraction conversion."

★★★★★

"The student and I worked on some extra credit math sheets to review for her test on Thursday. She did a great job completing the square and using the quadratic formula to solve for x. I did have to correct some small algebraic mistakes."

★★★★★

"Yesterday I met with the student to help her study for her exam. I had given her some practice problems which we started the session by going over. She was having trouble isolating a variable and asked for many practice examples until she felt confident that she could do it. We then worked through the practice sets in her prep book making sure she was comfortable and familiar with the types of problems she might see on the test. She did great working through the questions and using the multiple choice answers to help her narrow down the correct answer."

★★★★★

"We worked through the student's homework which covered exponential growth functions and then moved on to test review for her test the next day. It covered the Pythagorean theorem and geometric applications of the theorem."

★★★★★

"The student did problems from Chapter 12.3 in her textbook. She also worked similar problems from another textbook. The general topic of Chapter 12.3 is simplifying rational expressions. She also did problems on the following topics: determining excluded values of a rational expression, simplifying rational expressions with trinomials, simplifying rational expressions using opposite binomials, rules of exponents, and word problems involving rational expressions."

★★★★★

"We focused on probability the first half of the session, going over problems dealing with permutations, combinations, compliments, and odds. We then moved on to a review sheet for the student's final coming up. We reviewed topics on radicals and how to simplify radicals and solve for radicals. "

★★★★★

"Parabolas and circles: discussed the main concepts from each section and worked on homework problems from parabolas. The student is doing well, she needs to continue practicing and reviewing."
